Things to do in Singapore, Singapore: The Best Gift & Specialty Shops

September 27, 2021 Etsuko Causey

The Singapore cityscape looks like it was ripped from the pages of a science fiction comic book. If you’re hungry for a true Singapore experience, sample the myriad street foods or take a cultural cooking class. The Botanic Gardens and the Gardens By the Bay offer a slice of horticultural heaven, and the observation deck of the Sands SkyPark makes you feel like you’re high above the clouds. The banks and walkways along the Singapore River bustle with local activity.

We came to Tea Chapter to look for Zisha teapots manufactured in Yixing, China. The shop has a nice range of Zisha and porcelain teapots to brew Chinese tea leaves. Some of the Zisha teapots have certificates of authenticity from the craftsmen while others do not. Prices vary, depending on the skills of the craftsmen. The shop has a good variety of Chinese tea leaves. Small canisters provide customers with the smell of tea leaves. Staff Angie and May Eng explained the different tea leaves to my wife and me. They also helped us with the teapots. Both were patient with our enquiries. Located along Neil Road, the Peranakan styled shophouse is well designed in complementary traditional decor that suits the old-world charm of Chinese tea trading business. Tea leaves and tea ware are neatly displayed for browsing and purchase.

Littered With Books

Reviewed By Jingpei - Singapore, Singapore

A quaint little bookshop with human touch. I was looking for a book suitable for my niece, the staff was very helpful and enthusiastic in making various recommendations. In the end, I picked up a book which is very well received by my niece, so kudos to the staff. They did a lovely job wrapping up the book as well. Love this bookshop because it gives off a family cosy feel instead of the usual squeaky clean feel at the chains. Probably make people feel like reading even if one is a non-reader.
